The most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his or her own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." This essay is a considered a watershed moment in which transcendentalism became a major cultural movement. An American classic.

This is how to ruin Emmerson

The narrator, not the text, makes this a painful read. He adds more punctuation than there is and oddly emphasizes words that need none while ignoring those that do.

It's as if he's trying to do a bad impersonation of William Shatner.

For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris - Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut. Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives - the ones we'd like to pretend never happened - are in fact the ones that define us. In
Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor.

Laugh Outloud

This really would be a good Audible for a drinking game. Dead animal = 1 shot. Vagina = 2 shots.

Empyrean. Under the command of suave 80-year-old director Samuel Lord, the Zero G men are in charge of investigating terrorism, crime, corruption, and espionage and of keeping an eye on the rival Chinese and Russian stations.

Dont drive while listening

Shatner is so dull in this narration that I had to shut it off. He was making me fall asleep while driving.

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

Heart wrenching ninety year love story

If this story doesn't tug at your heart over and over through the life of this man, young and old, I can only imagine you've never felt as strong a love as this.

Se7en meets
The Silence of the Lambs in this dark and twisting novel from the author Jeffery Deaver called "a talented writer with a delightfully devious mind". For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one that proves he has taken another victim, who may still be alive.

The best mystery novel I've listened to in ages

Love the twists and turns. Don't want to say too much without giving away secrets but with all that's going on at once surely something will surprise you.
